Happy Saturday everyone. Today I have posted some pictures of the mini album I made with a couple of my clubs for National Scrapbooking month. This was an easy peasy little album to make. The colors are Sahara Sand, Baja Breeze, Crumb Cake. I cut the front and back with the Scallop Square and then ran it through the vintage wallpaper folder - if you don't have the BigShot yet you really need it (LOL!). I am in love with mine and use it on just about every project. After the embossing folder, I used my sponge and rubbed champagne shimmer paint all over the front. The inside accordian is just 2 pieces of 4X12 cardstock, scored every 4 inches. You need to fold them back and forth and then attach the ends together to form the long piece. You could add another piece as well if you wanted a bigger album. Then I just embellished it with co-ordinating products - buttons, flowers, vintage tags. I find that when putting an album together you need to choose your "theme" and stick with that, by that I mean going with the same colors, it looked a little vintage, so I used a vintage tag. It will keep you album looking cohesive and not all mixed up. I even printed my pictures in a sepia tone so they would not clash with each other. So I hope you feel inspired to try it out - maybe you have a little extra time this afternoon....you could put one together and enjoy some creative time!
